Victoria’s Secret Angel
by Victoria's Secret
Victoria's Secret Angel is a sweet, fruity floral with a powdery and softly spicy character. The opening features a burst of plum, pink pepper, and gardenia, creating a fresh yet bold introduction. As it develops, it reveals a warm, musky, and woody base with agarwood (oud) and ambergris, rounding out with a soft violet and slightly sweet, powdery drydown. The scent is noticeable and delicate on the skin, with a moderate sillage that suits both daytime and evening wear, particularly in cooler seasons. While some find it overly sweet or too floral for their taste, many appreciate its elegant blend of fruit, spice, and woodiness, describing it as sensual and sophisticated rather than childish. Longevity is average — lasting around four to six hours on most skin types — and it’s often praised as a standout within the brand’s lineup for its depth and quality. The fragrance feels youthful and feminine, ideal for those who enjoy a light, gourmand-leaning floral with a touch of edginess from the pepper and oud.
